In Brazil we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day every October 15th and this year was very special at Caminhos, as we had a day full of fun. To start with, teachers ate lunch at Caminhos and played a game called Escape 60. After that, they went to Ipanema beach to end the day with a much needed and appreciated cold beer.

Don’t be surprised if you are invited to a child’s birthday party in Brazil and be welcomed with a huge celebration with lots of food, alcoholic beverage and all kids of sweets. Brazilians like to party and they are always up to it.
